Chapter 181 - 11: Visitor
History, it’s like a lingering melody. Historians always like to try and summarize patterns from it; they even once thought they could hum along. However, as they hummed, they were always off-key. After all, it’s always cyclical, yet never repeats.
Sometimes you think the climax is coming, but it inexplicably goes silent. Sometimes you think it’s a dull transitional Chapter, but it inexplicably climaxes again and again. Sometimes there’s a 180-degree turn, sometimes even a 360-degree turn, and you’re surprised to find it returns to its original place, yet you can’t predict where it will go next.
The history of the Keltos Continent is even more inexplicably mind-boggling. Tens of thousands of years of Holy Sect rule, plus tens of thousands of years of what humans call the "Dark Prehistoric Era," you’d think all the weird and bizarre things had already happened. Yet, even weirder and more bizarre things happened.
After all, each day is a brand-new day, and history is always stubbornly moving forward, never looking back.
Thus, this gives many novelists plenty of opportunities to add unnecessary words, like I’m doing right now. After all, when you curse me for talking nonsense, reality is always more magical than fiction.
In July of Holy Calendar 10757, four years and one month after arriving at the surface world, the Lich named Gray incredibly became the true master of the Human Church, controlling Church Court Mountain through force. Both Heaven and Hell remained silent about this because Gray had followed the rules set by both sides completely when accomplishing this feat.
Many years later, when historians reviewed this period in which Gray Gruggle’s identity as a Lich was already beyond clear to humans, their feelings were akin to reading a humorous novel. Of course, besides the core personnel in the Church, there are very few who genuinely think this way now. Of course, very few doesn’t mean none.
